Sandwich Franchise Jumps 127 Spots to 179 on Prestigious List

SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwired - February 09, 2016) - Entrepreneur Magazine has once again ranked Togo's, the original West Coast sandwich franchise, on its list of top franchise opportunities.

The Franchise 500 list is the authoritative guide for franchise opportunities, which are ranked based on financial strength, stability, growth rate and size of the system. It's the 6th consecutive year Togo's has made the list.

"Customers love our big, meaty sandwiches, and our focus on quality food and great customer service," said CEO Tony Gioia. "That passion has translated into strong sales for franchisees, and we're grateful for this latest recognition of our success."

How Togo's stands out

Togo's locations generate average revenues of $660,001, as outlined in Togo's 2015 Franchise Disclosure Document. Compare that to industry giant Subway, which generated about $437,000 per restaurant in 2014. Togo's has seen same-store sales increases for six years in a row.

Meanwhile, Togo's has plenty of room to grow without franchisees worrying about bumping up against a fellow franchisee and competing for the same customers. The four-decade-old brand started in San Jose and grew a strong following among Northern California foodies. Now, it is expanding into Southern California and other Western states.

The company is focused on smart growth. Franchisees have a great deal of access to the Togo's management team, which allows the company to offer a level of franchisee support that larger franchisors struggle to match. "We are intensely focused on supporting and coaching our franchisees to help them master their business and get results," says COO Jim Peros, a veteran operations leader for IHOP and Taco Bell.
